On Halloween night in Louisiana, a college student launches on what should be a routine training flight in a Cessna 172. But somewhere over the dark bayous, the radios fall silent and the airplane begins to fail. With nowhere safe to land, he's forced down near a cluster of distant campfires deep in the wilderness.
Bruised and disoriented, he expects to find help waiting for him. Instead, the men who emerge from the darkness speak, dress, and behave as though they belong to another century.
As the long night unfolds, what begins as a desperate fight for survival becomes something far stranger—a journey into a forgotten chapter of Louisiana history and an encounter that will leave him questioning everything he thought he knew about the past.
Blending aviation suspense, Southern mystery, and historical fantasy, The Horseless Wagon is a haunting tale of courage, friendship, and the stories we leave behind—for those willing to carry them forward.
